LIFE  INSURANCE. 

t&CT  THE  NEW  ENGLAND  MUTUAL  LIFE  INSURANCE 
COMPANY  of  Boston  have  established  an  Agency  in  the  City  of 
New- York  for  the  purpose  of  receiving  applications  for  Life  In- 
surance, &c.

JOHN  HOPPER,  Solicitor  and  Agent,  16  Wall  street. 

This  company  has  been  in  operation  for  the  last  three  years  in 
Boston,  and  has  already  insured  above  1500  persons.  Among  the 
advantages  which  it  presents  may  be  enumerated  the  following  : 

1.  The  Company  is  a  mutual  one,  of  which  all  persons  insured  by 
it  are  members,  and  interested  in  the  management  of  its  concerns  in 
proportion  to  the  amounts  which  they  insure. 

2.  It  has  a  guaranty  capital  of  $100,000,  which  is  held  as  a  safety 
fund  for  the  payment  of  its  risks. 

3.  The  rate  of  premium  and  deposit  is  so  regulated  as  to  afford  the 
greatest  possible  security  both  to  the  Company  and  to  the  insured  ; 
while  at  the  same  time  it  is  as  low  as  is  consistent  with  the  stability 
of  the  institution. 

4.  As  a  further  security  for  the  stability  of  the  Company  every 
person  who  insures  is  required  to  make  a  small  deposit  in  addition  to 
his  premium.  Such  deposits  are  held  in  reserve  for  five  years,  and, 
if  not  needed  for  the  payment  of  claims,  they  are  then  credited  to 
the  depositor. 

5.  If  a  policy  by  accident  should  become  forfeited,  the  deposits 
made  by  the  assured  subsequent  to  the  last  periodical  distribution, 
are  paid  back  to  him,  so  that  the  deposits  still  belong  to  the  assured 
subject  to  the  above  conditions. 

6.  At  each  periodical  distribution  of  the  surplus,  every  insured 
member  is  entitled  to  receive  back  three-fourths  of  the  surplus  of  his 
premium  over  and  above  what  may  be  necessary  to  meet  the  liabili- 
ties of  the  Company.  The  other  fourth  goes  into  the  reserved  fund 
of  the  Company. 

Applications  or  letters  addressed  to  the  subscriber  in  New- York 
will  be  promptly  attended  to,  and  all  necessary  information  furnish- 
ed by  him.

HOUSE  OF  INDUSTRY 

AND 

HOME  FOR  THE  FRIENDLESS. 

An  Appeal  for  Aid. 

The  important  enterprise  of  a  "  House  of  Industry  and  Home  for 
the  Friendless  "  has  been  in  contemplation  for  some  months,  and 
over  $1,000  have  been  recently  contributed  toward  it.  Such  an  in- 
stitution is  imperatively  needed  by  the  city,  and  the  object  of  this  ap- 
peal is  to  solicit  from  the  friends  of  humanity  further  aid  in  its  be- 
half. The  facts  strongly  indicating  the  existing  necessity  for  the  es- 
tablishment of  this  institution  are  these  : 

1st.  It  has  been  ascertained  by  careful  inquiry,  that  there  are  usu- 
ally within  the  limits  of  the  city  an  average  of  not  less  than  one 
thousand  deserving  females  out  of  employment,  and  in  most  cases, 
being  orphans  or  fatherless,  they  are  often  homeless  and  friendless — 
that,  in  consequence  of  the  emergencies  that  want  brings,  they  are 
frequently  subjected  to  fraud,  imposition,  and  wrong  treatment,  and 
at  length  to  ignominy,  and  an  early  grave. 

2d.  That  while  charitable  institutions  have  made  provision  for 
almost  every  other  class  of  the  needy,  the  Aims-House,  Watch-House, 
or  Tombs,  are  the  only  shelter  afforded  the  friendless,  unprotected 
female,  whose  only  crime  is  poverty  and  need  of  employment. 

It  is  confidently  believed  that  such  an  institution  would  be  an  im- 
mense saving  to  the  city,  not  only  on  the  score  of  economy,  but  true 
charity,  and  that  five-eighths  of  those  who  might  be  thus  aided, 
would  be  saved  from  idleness,  want,  and  ruin  ;  and  instead  of  living 
to  prey  upon,  and  curse  society,  enduring  in  their  own  souls  the  un- 
availing anguish  of  remorse,  they  might  live  to  honor  and  bless  the 
sphere  in  which  they  move. 

The  House  of  Industry  here  proposed  will  in  no  way  interfere  with 
a  city  workhouse  for  paupers  and  vagrants — which  it  is  hoped  the 
authorities  may  erect — as  its  express  and  sole  design  will  be  to  meet  the 
wants  of  the  virtuous,  helpless,  poor,  whom,  as  said  our  Saviour, 
"  Ye  have  always  with  you."  It  is  for  these  sufferers  that  we  plead. 
We  would  prevent  their  feet  from  going  down  to  death.  We  would 
have  a  place  for  them,  provided  by  Christian  philanthropy,  and  under 
its  especial  guidance,  that  will  enable  them  to  help  themselves.  Shall 
we  plead  in  vain  for  an  object  so  fraught  with  mercy  to  the  wretched  ? 

The  Association  who  thus  solicit  aid,  have  submitted  their  views 
to  various  individuals,  competent  to  judge  of  the  expediency  of  the

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW-YORK. 

Location  of  the  City,  Population,  &c. 

NEW-YORK  CITY,  the  principal  city  of  the  State  of  New- 
York ;  and  in  population,  wealth,  and  commerce,  the  largest  city  in 
the  United  States;  deserves  to  he  denominated  the  London  of  Ame- 
rica. The  City  Hall  is  in  40°  42*  40"  N.  lat.,  and  74°  1'  6"  W.  long, 
from  Greenwich,  and  3°  0'  16"  E.  lonir.  from  Washington.  It  is  86 
miles  N.  E.  Philadelphia,  210  miles  S.  W.  Boston,  225  miles  N.  E. 
Washington.  670  miles  N.  E.  Charleston,  145  miles  S.  Albany,  372 
miles  S.  Montreal,  1370  miles  N.  E.  New-Orleans. 

The  compact  part  of  the  citv  is  situated  on  the  south  end  of  New- 
York  or  Manhattan  Island,  at  the  confluence  of  Hudson  or  North 
river  with  the  East  river,  which  connects  Long  Islund  Sound  with 
the  harbor  of  New- York.  The  Island  which  contains  about  14.000 
acres  of  ground,  extends  from  the  Battery,  on  the  south  po:nt  of  the 
island,  13r  miles  to  Kingsbridge,  and  has'  an  average  breadth  of  one 
mile  and  three-fifths.  The  greatest  breadth,  about  2h  miles  is  on 
the  line  ef  83th  s'reet.  It  is  connected  with  the  main  land  on  the 
north  by  three  bridges  :  Harlem  bridge,  Macomb's  bridge,  and  King's 
hridsre. 

The  Population,  in  1790,  was  33,131 ;  in  1820,  123,706 ;  in  1840, 
312,710.    The  population  in  1845  was  366,785. 

The  Harbor,  Islands,  Forts,  &c. 

The  harbor  of  New-York  is  spacious  and  safe,  the  inner  harbor 
extending  8  miles  from  the  Narrows  to  the  city,  and  several  miles 
further  up  both  the  North  and  East  rivers.  Besides  this,  it  has  an 
outer  harbor,  extending  from  the  Narrows  to  Sandy  Hook  consisting 
of  Raritan  Bay.  Sandy  Hook  on  which  is  a  light-house,  is  18  miles 
from  the  city  ;  at  this  point  there  are  27  feet  of  water  on  the  bar  at 
high  tide,  and  21  feet  at  low  tide.  Within  Sandy  hook  there  is  a 
good  anchorage.  The  harbor  is  entered  not  only  from  the  ocean  at 
Sandy  Hook  and  through  the  Narrows,  but  also  on  the  northeast 
from  Long  Island  Sound,  as  well  as  on  the  southwest  through  the 
Kills  and  Staten  Island  Sound. 

After  passing  the  bar  at  Sandy  Hook,  the  channel  to  the  city  "has 
a  depth  of  water  of  from  35  to  50  feet.  The  average  tide  at  the 
wharves  is  from  6  to  7  feet.  The  safest  and  best  portion  of  the  har- 
bor, and  where  the  vessels  chiefly  lie,  is  along  East  River,  which  is 
rarely  obstructed  from  ice,  as  the  tide  sweeps  through  it  with  a 
strong  and  rapid  current. 

Islands  and  Forts. — Several  islands  within  the  inner  harbor  are 
attached  to  the  city,  which  are  Governor's,  Bedlow's,  and  Ellis's 
Islands,  on  all  of  which  are  strong  fortifications  ;  and  Blackwell's, 
Great  Bam,  and  Randail's  Islands,  in  the  East  River.  Governor's 
Island  is  3200  feet  from  the  city  at  the  Battery,  and  includes  70  acres 
of  ground.  It  contains  Fort  Columbus  on  the  south  of  the  island, 
and  Castle  William  on  the  northwest  point,  which  is  a  round 
tower,  600  feet  in  circumference  and  60  feet  high,  with  three  tiers  of 
guns.  There  is  also  a  battery  on  the  northwest  side,  commanding 
the  entrance  through  the  Buttermilk  channel.  At  the  Narrows,  on 
the  eastern  shore  of  Long  Island,  are  Fort  Hamilton  and  Fort  La 
Fayette,  the  latter  of  which  (formerly  called  Fort  Diamond)  is  built 
on  a  reef  of  rocks,  200  yards  from  the  shore.  On  Staten  Island,  at 
the  Narrows,  are  Fort  Tompkins  and  Fort  Richmond,  both  of  which 
are  strong  fortifications.  The  entrance  from  the  Sound  on  East  River 
is  defended  by  Fort  Schuyler  on  Throg's  Neck. 


54  DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW-YORK. 


The  Battery. 

The  Battery  at  the  Southern  end  of  the  city,  is  situated  at  the  junc- 
tion of  Hudson  and  East  Rivers.  It  is  in  "the  form  of  a  crescent, 
containing  about  11  acres  of  ground,  laid  out  with  grass  plots  and 
gravelled  walks,  shaded  with  trees.  From  this  spot  is  a  fine  view 
of  the  bay,  its  islands,  and  the  adjacent  shores  of  New  Jersey,  and 
Long  and  Staten  Islands.  The  scene  is  generally  enlivened  by  ship- 
ping under  sail. 

The  Park. 

The  Park,  called  in  early  times  the  Commons,  is  a  triangular  area 
of  about  lOi  acres,  lying  between  Broadway,  Chatham  and  Cham- 
bers streets,  is  laid  out  with  walks,  and  planted  with  trees,  and  sur- 
rounded by  an  iron  fence,  which  cost  over  $15,000.  It  contains  the 
City  Hall,  the  new  City  Hall  or  old  Alms  House,  and  the  Rotunda, 
now  occupied  by  the  New-York  Gallery  of  the  Fine  Arts.  It  has 
also,  towards  its  southern  part,  a  public  fountain,  within  a  basin, 
about  100  feet  in  diameter,  which  has  a  variety  of  jets,  which  are 
occasionally  changed.  When  the  water  is  thrown  in  a  single  stream, 
it  ascends  to  the  height  of  about  70  feet,  presenting  a  majestic  and 
interesting  appearance.  The  fountain  is  designed  to  be  made  yet 
more  ornamental. 

The  Bowling  Green. 

The  Bowling  Green,  at  the  southern  termination  of  Broadway, 
is  an  elliptical  area,  220  feet  long  and  140  feet  broad,  enclosed  by  an 
iron  fence.  It  existed  before  the  American  Revolution,  and  formerly 
contained  a  leaden  statue  of  George  III.,  which  was  converted  into 
bullets  at  that  period.  It  contains  a  public  fountain,  which  is  sup- 
plied by  the  Croton  water-works.  In  the  centre  of  a  large  basin  is 
placed  a  rude  pile  ot  huge  rocks  in  a  somewhat  circular  form,  about 
i5  ieet  m  diameter,  and  as  many  leet  high,  and  from  the  top  issues  a 
jet,  with  small  jets  around  it,  and  presents,  by  the  water  pouring 
and  tumbling  down  the  sides  of  the  rocks,  a  wild  and  picturesque 
appearance, 

Hudson  Square,  or  St.  John's  Park. 

Hudson  Square,  or  St.  John's  Park,  between  Beach,  Laight,  Var- 
ick,  and  Hudson  streets,  is  private  property,  belonging  to  Trinity 
Church,  but  has  been  reserved  as  a  permanent  public  square.  It  is 
beautifully  laid  out  with  walks,  shaded  with  trees,  and  surrounded 
by  an  iron  fence,  which  cost  $26,000.  It  contains  about  four  acres 
of  ground,  has  a  public  fountain,  and  is,  perhaps,  the  most  orna- 
mental spot  in  the  city. 

Washington  Square. 

■Washington  Square,  a  mile  and  a  half  north  of  the  City  Hall,  be- 
tween Wooster  and  M'Dougal  streets,  contains  about  91  acres  of 
ground.  Two-thirds  of  the  area  wirs  the  Potter's  Field  until  1827, 
the  remainder  was  purchased  by  the  city  for  about  §78,000,  and  the 
whole  is  enclosed  by  a  wooden  fence,  which  cost  nearly  $3,000. 
It  is  laid  out  in  walks  and  planted  with  trees. 

Union  Place. 

Union  Place,  at  the  northern  termination  of  Broadway  is  in  an 
elliptical  form,  enclosed  with  a  fine  iron  fence,  having  a  public  foun- 
tain in  the  centre  with  ornamental  jets,  and  is  a  delightful  breathing- 
place  to  the  inhabitants.  Farther  up  the  city  are  other  public 
squares,  as  Madison  Square,  Hamilton  Square,  and  others,  not  yet

regulated.  On  the  east  are  Tompkins  Square  and  Bellevue,  the 
latter  the  seat  of  the  almshouse. 

Croton  Water  Works. 

The  cheapest  and  most  convenient  mode  of  visiting  the  Distribut- 
ing Reservoir  in  Fortieth-street,  or  the  Receiving  Reservoir  in  Eighty- 
sixth-street,  is  by  the  cars  of  the  Harlem  Rail  Road,  which  leave  the 
Depot,  at  the  junction  of  Chatham  and  Centre  streets,  opposite  the 
City  Hall,  every  15  minutes  during  the  day. 

Extent  of  the  supply  of  water. — The  minimum  flow  of  water  in 
the  river,  where  the  dam  is  constructed,  is  considered  to  be  twenty- 
seven  millions  of  gallons  for  every  twenty-four  hours,  which  would 
be  a  sufficient  supply  for  one  million  of  inhabitants.  It  is  considered 
that  the  supply  for  the  present  is  abundant,  even  during  a  season  of 
drought,  for  one  million  and  a  half  of  inhabitants,  nearly  five  times 
the  present  population ;  and  other  streams  can  be  turned  into  the 
Croton,  if  the  time  ever  arrives  when  the  population  of  the  city  will 
require  an  increased  supply. 

Velocity  of  the  water. — The  velocity  of  the  water  in  the  aqueduct 
has  been  ascertained  to  be  about  one  mile  and  a  half  an  hour  where 
it  is  two  feet  deep. 

The  Dam— is  250  feet  long,  70  feet  wide  at  bottom,  and  7  feet  at 
top,  and  40  feet  high,  built  of  stone  and  cement.  It  creates  a  pond 
five  miles  long,  covering  a  surface  of  400  acres,  and  contains 
500,000,000  gallons  of  water. 

The  Aqueduct — proceeds  from  the  dam,  sometimes  tunneling 
through  solid  rocks,  crossing  valleys  by  embankments,  and  brooks 
by  culverts,  until  it  reaches  Harlem  river,  a  distance  of  33  miles.  It 
is  built  of  stone,  brick,  and  cement,  arched  over  and  under  six  feet 
three  inches  wide  at  bottom,  seven  feet  eight  inches  at  the  top  of 
the  side  walls,  and  eight  feet  five  inches  high,  has  a  descent  of  thir- 
teen and  a  quarter  inches  per  mile,  and  will  discharge  sixty  millions 
of  gallons  in  twenty-four  hours. 

Aqueduct  Bridge  at  Harlem  River. — The  Aqueduct  will  cross 
Harlem  river  on  a  magnificent  bridge  of  stone,  1,450  feet  long,  with 
15  arches,  8  of  them  80  feet  span,  and  7  of  50  feet  span,  114  feet  above 
tide  water  at  the  top,  and  will  cost  $900,000.  This  bridge  is  in  pro- 
gress ;  and  for  the  present  the  water  is  brought  across  the  river  in  an 
iron  pipe,  laid  as  an  inverted  syphon. 

The  Receiving  Reservoir — is  at  Eighty-sixth-street,  38  mites  from 
the  Croton  Dam,  covers  35  acres,  and  contains  150  millions  of  gal- 
lons. 

The  Distributing  Reservoir — at  Fortieth-street,  about  three  miles 
from  the  City  Hall,  constructed  with  stone  and  cement,  covers  four 
acres,  and  is  43  feet  high  above  the  street,  is  36  feet  deep  when  full 
of  water,  and  holds  20  millions  of  gallons.  Thence  the  water  is  dis- 
tributed in  the  city  in  iron  pipes,  laid  deep  under  ground,  to  be  secure 
from  frost.  A  section  of  the  wall  on  one  side  of  the  Reservoir,  in- 
cluding the  embankment,  is  17  feet  wide  at  the  top,  35  feet  wide  at 
the  distance  of  16  feet  below  the  top,  and  76  feet  wide  at  the  bottom. 
An  iron  railing  bounds  the  outside  and  inside  of  the  walk  around  the 
top.  This  Reservoir  may  be  considered  the  termination  of  the  Croton 
Aqueduct,  and  is  distant  from  the  Fountain  Reservoir  at  the  Croton, 
forty  and  a  half  miles. 

Estimated  Cost. — It  was  at  first  estimated  that  it  would  cost  five 
or  six  millions  of  dollars  ;  and  at  kthe  city  charter  election  of  1835, 
the  citizens  were  required  to  vote  for  or  against  supplying  the  city  in

this  way.    The  whole  number  of  votes  given  was  17,330,  of  which 
5.963  were  against  it,  and  11,367  in  favour  of  it. 

Cost  of  the  Work — Extent  of  Pipe  laid. — the  whole  cost  of  the  I 
work  will  be  about  $14,000,000.  There  are  laid  between  the  Dis-  j 
tributing  Reservoir  m  Fortieth  street  and  the  Battery,  162  miles  and  j 
3.665  feet  of  pipe,  from  6  to  36  inches  in  diameter,  the  majority  of 
which  is  from  6  to  12  inches  diameter;  and  free  hydrants  are  i 
opened  in  most  of  the  streets,  besides  the  fire  hvdrants.  There  are 
1400  fire,  and  600  free  hydrants. 

Introducing'  of  the  Water. — The  water  was  introduced  into  this 
Reservoir  on  the  4th  July,  1842,  and  on  the  14th  of  October  follow- 
ing, the  water  was  introduced  into  the  city. 

Analysis  of  the  Croton  Water. — Croton  water,  taken  from  the 
Croton  "Dam,  when  perfectly  clear,  was  found  to  contain  4*998,  or 
about  five  grains  of  solid  matter  to  the  gallon.  Schuylkill  water, 
taken  from  the  middle  basin,  on  Fairmount,  (Philadelphia,)  contain- 
ed 4'08  grains  of  sol  d  matter  to  the  gallon. 

I  Influence  of  the  introduction  of  the  Croton  Water  on  t!ie  Rates  of 
Insurance. — The  tax  to  defray  the  interest  of  the  Croton  Water  Debt 
is  20  cents  on  the  100  dollars,  and  the  average  reduction  on  the  rates  of] 
insurance  is  at  least  40  cents  on  the  100  dollars.  In  illustration 
of  the  above,  the  Board  mention  the  following: — One  who  pays, 
water  rent  for  near  forty  houses,  relates  the  result  of  a  calculation 
he  made,  viz:  He  compared  the  rate  of  insurance  lie  paid  on  this' 
property  previous  to  the  introduction  of  Croton  water,  with  the  rate 
he  pays  at  prese-.it,  and  added  to  it  the  Croton  wafer  tax,  and  sub- 
tracting the  two  last  from  the  first,  the  result  is  a  clear  saving  of  25 
:  per  cent.  Another  states,  that  he  insures  on  his  stock  30,000  dol- 
'  lars  ;  previous  to  the  introduction  of  the  water  he  pa<d  85  cents  on 
the  100  dollars  ;  he  now  pays  for  the  same  property  35  cents  on  the 
hundred  dollars,  a  saving  of  150  dollars,  if  he  paid  the  Croton 
water  tax  on  the  above  amount,  it  would  be  60  dollars,  leaving  a  nett 
gain  of  93  dollars. 

Receipts  and  Expenditures  for  184G. — According  to  the  annual 
Report  of  the  Croton  Aqueduct  Board  for  1846,  the  receipts  for  the  year  j 
;  ending  the  30th  April  1846,  were  $164,532  53 :  exceeding  the  amount 
received  in  the  corresponding  period  of  time  1844-5,  $45,949  79  ;  and 
the  expenditure  for  the  same  period,  $58,433  67,  which  is  a  decrease 
!  from  the  year  1844-5  of  $14,928  00.  There  have  been  laid  down 
during  the  year  four  miles  of  pipe  making  163  miles  now  in  use. 
Owing  to  the  increase  of  the  revenue,  the  tax  upon  real  and  personal 
estate  was  reduced  from  21  cents  on  the  hundred  dollars  in  1844  to  16 
cents  in  1845,  and  it  may  be  reasonably  expected  that  each  succeed- 
ing year  the  reduction  will  be  in  almost  equal  rates. 

Number  of  Permits  issued. — The  whole  number  of  Permits  issued 
to  the  first  day  of  May,  1846,  was  12,247,  which  represent  nearly 
!  13,000  water  takers  ;  being  an  increase  of  about  3400,  since  the  1st  of 
May,  1845.  The  discrepancy  between  the  number  of  permits  and  the 
number  of  water  takers,  arises  from  a  number  of  houses,  steamboats, 
!  &c,  being  included  in  one  permit. 

The  following  statement  will  show  the  revenue  received  since  the 
organization  of  the  Department  in  October  1842. — From  October  3, 
1842,  to  Mav  1,  1843,  $17  838  67  ;  from  May  1,  1843,  to  May  1,  1844, 
91,790  60  ;  from  May  1,  1844,  to  May  1,  1845,  118,582  74 ;  from  May 
1, 1845,  to  May  1,  1846,  164,532  53.  '  The  expenditures  from  1st  Mav,

According  to  the  Report  of  the  City  Inspector,  the  deaths  in  the 
city  of  Xew-York,  during  the  vear  1845,  were, — 

Whites,  males,   5,574— females   4,909        =  10,483

5,815  5,163      Total.  10,983 

Being  an  increase  over  the  year  1844  of  2,026,  and  the  largest 
number  ever  reported  since  a  record  of  deaths  has  been  kept  in  the. 
city.  Of  these  132  died  in  other  places,  and  were  brought  to  this  city 
for  interment;  965  were  still-born  and  premature,  and  266,  were 
caused  bv  casualties,  drowning,  &c,  leaving  the  actual  city  mortality

The  City  Hall. 

The  City  Hall,  heretofore  regarded  the  finest  building  in  the  city, 
and  one  of  the  finest  in  the  United  States,  has  a  commanding  situa- 
tion in  the  middle  of  the  Park.  It  has  more  ornament  than  either  the 
Exchange  or  the  Custom  House,  but  less  simple  grandeur;  though 
with  its  furniture,  it  is,  perhaps,  the  most  interesting  building  in  the 
city.  It  is  216  feet  long,  and  105  wide;  was  commenced  in  1803, 
and  completed  in  1812,  and  cost  $536,734.  The  front  and  ends  are 
constructed  of  white  marble,  and  the  rear  of  brown  freestone.  It  is 
two  stories  high  above  the  basement,  with  a  third  or  attic  story  in 
the  centre  building  ;  and  there  rises  from  the  centre  a  cupola,  con-  j 
taining  a  clock  of  fine  workmanship,  and  on  the  top.  a  colossal  statue 
of  Justice.  In  the  upper  part  of  this  cupola  is  a  room  occupied  by  a 
watchman,  whose  business  it  is  to  give  alarm  in  case  of  fire,  as  from 
this  position  he  is  able  to  overlook  the  whole  city.  Behind  this, 
another  less  elevated  cupola,  with  eight  Ionic  columns,  contains  the 
City  Hall  bell,  weighing  6,910  pounds,  the  different  number  of  strokes 
of  which  indicate  the  district  in  which  afire  occurs.  The  front  of 
the  City  Hull  is  ornamented  with  columns  and  pilnsters  of  the  Ionic, 
Corinthian,  and  Composite  orders,  rising  above  each  other  in  regular 
gradation.  The  building  is  entered  in  front  by  a  flight  of  12  murble 
steps.  In  the  centre  is  a  double  staircase,  ascended  by  marble  steps, 
at  the  top  of  which  is  a  circular  gallery,  floored  with  marble,  from 
whii'h  ten  marble  columns  of  the  Corinthian  order  ascend  to  the  ceil- 
ing.   In  the  building  there  are  twenty-eight  offices  and  other  public 


58  DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW- YORK. 


rooms,  the  most  conspicuous  of  which  are  the  Governor's  room,  and 
the  chambers  of  the  Common  Council  and  Assistant  Aldermen. 

The  Governor's  Room  is  appropriated  to  the  use  of  the  Governor 
of  the  State  when  lie  visits  the  city,  and  has  been  used  as  a  reception 
room  for  other  distinguished  men  who  have  occasionally  been  here. 
It  is  52  by  20  feet.  The  walls  of  the  room  are  hung  with  a  fine  col- 
lection of  portraits,  including  the  Governors  of  the  State,  the  Mayors 
of  the  City,  since  the  Revolution,  some  of  the  Dutch  Governors,  and 
the  principal  military  and  navul  heroes  of  the  late  war,  all  of  which 
are  regarded  as  excellent  likenesses. 

The  Common  Council  Room  is  42  by  30  feet,  and  the  president  oc- 
cupies the  identical  chair  occupied  by  General  Washington,  when  he 
presided  over  the  first  American  Congress,  which  assembled  in  New- 
York.  The  seats  of  the  aldermen  are  ranged  in  a  semicircular  form, 
in  the  centre  of  which  is  a  table  for  the  clerk.  The  room  contains 
several  fine  full-length  portraits,  painted  by  Trumbull.  The  room  cf 
the  Assistant  Aldermen  is  handsomely  fitted  up. 

Hall  of  Records. 

The  Hall  of  Records,  east  of  the  City  Hall,  in  the  Park,  is  two 
stories  high,  with  a  lofty  portico  of  four  Ionic  pillars  on  each  front  ; 
and  in  the  rear  of  it  is  the  New  City  Hall,  formerly  the  old  Alms 
H/>use,  which  contains  fifteen  ofiices,  besides  the  Marine  Court  Room, 
and  the  rooms  of  the  American  Institute. 

Post  Office. 

ROBERT  II.  MORRIS,  POSTMASTER. 
The  Post  Office,  formerly  the  Middle  Dutch  Church,  is  located  in 
Nassau  street,  between  Cedar  and  Liberty  streets,  now  rented  to  the 
General  Government  for  7  years,  at  the  yearly  rent  of  §5,000.  This 
venerable  edifice  has  stood  for  115  years,  and  eight  or  nine  successive 
generations  (counting  those  who  were  aged  at  the  time  of  its  opening) 
have  worshipped  within  ils  walls.  On  Sabbath  evening,  11th  Au- 
gust, 1844,  the  closing  exercises  were  held  in  the  Church,  in  the  view 
of  resigning  it  for  Post  Office  purposes.  During  the  Revolutionary 
war,  in  1776,  when  the  British  took  possession  of  the  city,  several  of 
the  churches  were  occupied  and  greatly  injured  by  the  British 
soldiery  ;  but  the  Middle  Dutch  Church  suitered  the  most.  Being  di- 
rectly adjacent  to  the  famous  sugar-house,  the  scene  of  atrocious  and 
multiplied  cruelties  inflicted  upon  American  citizens,  it  was  at  one 
time  used  by  the  British  soldiery  for  their  quarters,  for  a  hosjitai,  and 
then  for  a  riding  school,  in  which  British  horsemanship  was  displayed. 
The  whole  of  the  interior  was  destroyed  and  rendered  desolate."  It 
was  not  till  1790  that  the  church  was  repaired,  and  again  opened  for 
divine  worship. 

The  Branch  Post  Office,  recently  opened,  is  situated  at  the  corner 
of  East  Broachvav  and  Chatham  Square.

splendid  building,  constructed  in  the  Doric  order  of  Grecian  architec- 
ture, of  white  marble,  something  after  the  model  of  the  Parthenon  at 
Athens.  It  occupies  the  s;te  of  the  old  Federal  Hall,  in  the  open  gal- 
lery of  which  General  Washington  was  inaugurated  ;  and  nearly 
over  the  front  door  is  the  place  where  he  stood  when  the  oath  of  of- 
fice, as  first  President  of  the  United  States,  was  administered  to  him 
by  Chancellor  Livingston,  April  30th,  1789  The  buiiding  is  200  feet 
long,  90  feet  wide,  and  80  feet  high.  At  the  southern  end  on  Wall- 
street,  is  a  portico  of  eight  purely  Grecian  Doric  columns,  5  feet  8  in- 
ches in  diameter,  and  32  feet  high  ;  and  on  the  northern  end  on  Pine- 
street  is  a  corresponding  portico  of  similar  columns.  The  front  por- 
tico is  ascended  by  eighteen  marble  steps,  and  the  rear  portico  on 
Pine-street  by  only  three  or  four  marble  steps.  The  great  business 
hall  is  a  splendid  circular  room,  ftO  feet  in  diameter,  surmounted  by  a 
dome,  supported  by  16  beautiful  Corinthian  columns,  30  feet  high,  and 
at  the  top  a  skylight.  On  each  side  are  13  pilasters,  in  perfect  keep-  i 
ing  with  the  pillars  on  the  two  fronts. 

Cost  of  the  Building. — The  cost  of  the  building  and  its  furniture 
was  $950,000  ;  and  including  the  ground,  $1,175,000. 

The  Custom  House  is  open  daily,  Sundays  excepted,  from  10  A.M. 
to  3  P.M.    Entries  must  be  made  before  2  P.M. 

The  United  States  Revenue  Boarding  Office, 

Situated  at  Pier  No.  1,  East  River,  a  building  recently  erected  by 
the  United  States  Government,  in  very  good  taste,  commands  from 
the  cupola  (which  contains  a  revolving  light)  an  excellent  view  of 
the  harbor  and  the  adjacent  islands.

DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW-YORK. 


the  dome.  The  front  on  Wall-street  has  a  recessed  portico  of  18 
massive  Grecian  Tonic  columns,  38  feet  high  and  4  feet  4  inches  in 
diameter,  each  formed  from  a  solid  block  of  stone,  and  weighing  43 
tons.  Besides  numerous  rooms  for  various  purposes,  the  Rotunda  in 
the  centre  is  80  feet  in  diameter,  with  four  recesses,  making  the  length 
and  breadth  each  100  feet,  the  whole  80  feet  high,  surmounted  with  a 
dome,  resting  in  part  on  eight  Corinthian  columns  of  Italian  marble, 
41  feet  high,  and  lighted  by  a  skylight,  25  feet  in  diameter.  On  the 
south  side  of  the  roof  is  a  telegraph,  which  communicates  with 
another  on  Staten  Island  ;  and  an  hourly  report  is  sent  down  from  the 
telegraph  to  the  news  room  in  the  Exchange,  for  public  inspection. 
The  cost  of  this  building,  including  the  ground,  is  estimated  at 
$1,800,000. 

Halls  of  Justice. 

This  building,  which  occupies  the  space  between  Centre,  Elm, 
Leonard,  and  Franklin  streets,  is  a  unique  and  beautiful  specimen  of 
the  Egyptian  style  of  architecture.  It  is  253  feet  long,  and  200  feet 
wide.  The  front  is  entered  by  eight  steps,  leading  to  a  portico  of 
four  massive  Egyptian  columns.  The  windows,  which  extend  to  the 
height  of  two  stories,  have  massive  frames,  and  cornices  ornamented 
v/ith  the  winged  globe  and  serpents.  The  two  fronts  on  Franklin  and 
Leonard  streets  have  each  two  entrances,  with  two  massive  columns 
each  ;  and  the  back  entrance  forms  a  carriage  way,  for  taking  prison- 
ers to  and  from  the  house  of  detention.  This  building,  though 
handsome  of  its  kind,  has  a  heavy  and  gloomy  aspect,  which  has  ac- 
quired for  it  the  name  of  the  Egyptian  Tombs.  It  is  constructed  of 
a  light  colored  granite,  from  Hallo  well,  Me. 

The  Court  of  Sessions  occupies  a  part  projecting  back  from  the 
front  building,  the  roof  of  which  is  supported  by  lofty  Egyptian 
columns. 

House  of  Detention,  or  Prison. — Within  the  enclosure  of  the 
Halls  of  Justice,  and  toward  its  back  part,  is  the  House  of  Detention, 
or  Prison,  142  feet  long  and  45  feet  wide,  which  is  entirely  separate 
from  the  outer  wall  and  building,  and  consists  of  148  cells,  for  diffe- 
rent classes  of  prisoners. 

Number  of  Fires  in  1846. 

During  the  year,  ending  August  1st,  1846,  there  were  two  hundred 
and  fifty  eight  fires,  bv  which  the  damage  to  buildings  amounted  to 
$55,301  ;  and  to  stock,  furniture,  &c,  $219,933.  During  the  night 
of  the  second  of  May  last,  within  about  six  hours,  ten  fires  occurred, 
all  of  which,  except  one,  (the  True  Sun  buildings)  commenced  in 
stables,  and  were  no  doubt  the  work  of  design. 

The  Oreat  Fire,  July  19,  1845.— The  total  loss  by  this  fire  has  been 
variously  estimated  at  from  $5,000,000  to  $8,000,000.  The  fire  com- 
menced about  3,  A.M.,  and  was  not  subdued  till  11,  a  period  of  8 
hours.  Supposing,  therefore,  the  total  loss  to  have  been  $6,000,000, 
the  average  loss,  per  hour,  was  $750,000  ;  the  loss,  per  quarter  of  an 
hour,  was  $187,500;  the  loss,  per  minute,  was  $12,500;  and  the 
average  loss,  per  second,  was  $208,33s-.

and  in  so  doing  is  entitled  to  a  discount  therefrom,  at  the  rate  of  7 
per  cent,  per  annum,  to  be  reckoned  from  the  day  of  payment  to  the

February,  are  chargeable  with  a  penalty  of  one  per  cent,  on  the 
amount  of  the  lax  :  if  remaining  unpaid  on  the  15th  of  March,  an

authorizing  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  city  and  county  of 
New- York,  to  correct  taxes  erroneously  assessed,  provided  the  same 
did  not  result  from  the  neglect  of  the  person  assessed,  and  provided, 
also,  that  application  shall  be  made  within  six  months  of  the  dare  of 
the  return  of  the  Assessment  Rolls  to  the  Receiver.  The  Rolls  will  be 
returned  early  in  October,  and  the  time  for  correcting  erroneous  taxes

American  Stationery. — Sealing  wax,  Ink,  Wafers,  Indelible 
Ink,  4-c.  <3rc. — The  establishment  of  Thaddeus  Davids,  No.  112  John- 
street,  (nearly  opposite  Cliif,)  is  the  most  celebrated  in  the  Union  for  : 
the  superiority  of  its  manufactures.  Mr.  Davids  commenced  manu- 
facturing the  above  articles  in  1825,  his  attention  has  been  sedulously 
directed  to  the  greatest  possible  excellence  of  quality  in  all  that  he  has 
made.  In  consequence  the  articles  have  borne  the  highest  reputation 
of  any  to  the  country.  They  have  been  and  are  now  used  by  Con- 
gress, in  most  of  the  National  and  State  Public  Offices,  and  by  mer- 
chants and  extensive  dealers  all  over  the  Union  :  and  they  have  taken 
the  First  Premiums  (Silver  Medals)  at  the  Fair  of  the  American 
and  the  Mechanics'  Institutes,  in  New- York.  Testimonials  have 
been  received  from  almost  every  quarter,  attesting  their  superiority, 
and  the  manufacturer  is  proud  to  acknowledge  that  a  discerning 
public  has  paid  the  most  gratifying  tribute  to  his  exertions,  by  a 
demand  for  his  articles  far  exceeding  his  highest  expectations.  Mer- 
chants and  others  would  not  only  be  highly  gratified,  but  would  find 
it  to  their  interest  to  give  Mr.  Davids  a  call,  while  on  a  visit  to  the 
"  Great  Metropolis." 

Disbr-ows'  Equestrian  Academy. — "Time  was1'  when  horse- 
manship was  considered  an  indispensable  accomplishment  for  all  who 
made  any  pretensions  whatever  to  belonsr  to  the  "  upper  ten  thousand  " 
of  society.  In  the  "  brave  old  days  of  joust  and  tourney  "  he  who 
could  manage  his  steed  with  most  skill,  ease  and  grace,  was  sure  to 
wear  the  guerdon  of  his  hidye-love,  and  to  win  the  admiration  of  the 
gentler  sex.  Nor  was  this*  art  confined  to  knights  and  gentlemen 
alone;  but  the  ladyes  fair  were  also  more  or  less  admired  according 
to  their  proficiency  in  riding.  The  somewhat  puritanic  ages  which 
succeeded  the  days  of  chivalry  changed  the  tastes  and  amusements  of 
society,  and  riding  for  amusement  fell  into  disuse,  or  was  confined  to 
the  sold  wry  and  the  "  lower  orders"  of  the  community.  Time  has 
made  a  revolution,  and  we  see  in  these  days,  a  reviving  taste  for  this 
most  graceful  and  healthy  exercise  ;  and  we  have  reason  to  rejoice  in 
this,  for  it  is  an  eurnest  that  our  ladies  are  determined  to  pay  a  greater 
attention  to  their  health  than  fashion  has  permitted  them  to  do  here- 
tofore. To  manage  well  the  noble  horse,  to  understand  his  disposition, 
to  know  how  to  control  his  pace,  is  an  art  which  can  only  be  acquired 
from  a  competent  teacher  ;  and  such  a  one  can  be  found  in  the  person 
of  Mr.  Wm.  H.  Disbrow,  whose  skill  and  knowledge  of  his  profession 
is  unsurpassed,  in  this  city  at  least. 

His  school  is  located  in  the  Bowery,  above  Vauxhall  Garden,  and 
is  most  admirably  adapted  for  the  purposes  for  which  it  is  intended, 
The  comforts  of  the  menage — the  politeness  and  attention  of  the 
instructor,  must  commend  the  establishment  to  all  who  may  be 
disposed  to  visit  it.    The  charges  are  extremely  moderate.

AMERICAN  MUSEUM. 

The  American  Museum  i*  situated  at  the  corner  of  Broadway  and 
Ann-street.  No  establishment  of  its  kind  in  x\meiica,  has  proba- 
bly been  conducted  more  efficiently  and  successfully  than  this.  Its 
present  proprietor,  Mr.  P.  T.  Rarnum,  came  into  possession  of  it 
about  the  commencement  of  the  year  1842,  when  it  had  been 
completely  run  down,  and  its  business  entirely  prostrated.  Indeed, 
it  appeared  to  be  hardly  known,  by  the  great  mass  of  the  citizens  of 
New  York,  or  the  thousands  of  strangers  visiting  the  metropolis,  that 
such  an  establishment  was  in  existence;  and  hence,  the  number  of 
visitors  was  very  small— hardly  sufficient  to  defray  its  expenses. 

No  sooner,  however,  did  Mr.  Barnum  take  the  helm  of  its  affairs, 
than  new  life  seemed  to  be  infused  into  it.  By  means,  which  many 
considered  hazardous,  he  was  successful  in  awaking  public  attention, 
and  in  attracting  both  strangers  and  residents  to  view  his  immense 
collection  of  Natural  and  Artificial  Curiosities,  and  to  witness  a 
choice  variety  of  chaste  and  interesting  amusements.  With  the 
apparent  consciousness  that  he  had  marked  out  trie  right  course  for 
conducting  such  an  establishment,  he  pressed  forward  in  his  mea- 
sures, until  he  has  succeeded  in  making  the 

American  Museum  the  most  popular 
place  of  amusement  in  the  city  of  New  York,  and  hardly  a  stranger 
fails  to  visit  it,  as  one  of  the  most  attractive  objects  in  the  great 
commercial  emporium  of  the  Western  World.    During  the  last 
twelve  months,  not  less  than 

four  hundred  thousand  persons 
have  visited  it,  and  the  proprietor,  notwithstanding  he  has  already 
enlarged  his  premises  three  times,  is  still  compelled  to  expand, 
and  has  made  arrangements  to  add  another  very  large  and  commo- 
dious hall  to  his  establishment.  For  the  convenience  of  Ladies  and 
Children,  he  gives  performances  every  afternoon,  as  well  as  evening, 
and  use9  every  means  to  preserve  the  strictest  order  and  decorum  at 
all  time*?.

BOWERY  THEATRE. 

The  Bowery  Theatre  is  situated  in  the  Bowery  near  Bayard- 
street.  This  Theatre  was  first  opened,  under  the  management  of 
Charles  Gilfert,  in  1827,  and  burnt  to  the  ground  in  1829;  it  was  then 
rebuilt  by  the  late  Henry  Astor,  and  again  burnt  in  1836,  while  under 
the  charge  of  Hamblin  ;  it  was  then  rebuilt  by  Dinneford,  and  burnt 
again,  for  the  third  time,  in  1838;  again,  Phenix-like,  a  new  building 
sprang  from  the  ashes  of  the  old  one,  under  Hamblin's  direction,  to 
share  the  fate  of  its  predecessors  in  the  month  of  April,  1845  ;  in  the 
month  of  May,  less  than  thirty  days  after  the  conflagration,  the 
present  proprietor,  A.  W.  Jackson,  took  a  lease  of  the  ground  and 
commenced  the  rebuilding  of  the  present  elegant  edifice,  which  was 
completed  and  opened  under  his  management  August  4th,  1845,  less 
than  ninety  days  from  its  commencement,  since  which  time  its 
present  proprietor  has  enjoyed  a  patronage  fully  equal,  if  not  supe- 
rior, to  that  bestowed  on  any  of  his  predecessors.  The  present 
Bowery  Theatre  is  the  largest  dramatic  establishment  in  the  United 
States,  having  capabilities  for  the  production  of  pieces  not  to  be 
surpassed  by  any  other  theatre  in  the  world.  Tnigedy,  Comedy, 
and  Farce,  are  produced  fully  equal  to  any  other  theatre,  while 
Melo  dramatic  Spectacles  are  got  up  and  placed  before  the  public  in 
the  most  gorgeous  and  expensive  manner,  and  it  is  ceded  on  all  sides, 
that  the  Bowery  Theatre,  in  the  production  of  this  particular  branch 
of  the  drama,  is  not  surpassed  in  either  Europe  or  America.  The 
prices  of  admission  to  this  magnificent  house  are,  25  cents  to  the 
Boxes,  and  12£  cents  to  the  Pit  and  Gnllery.  The  enormous  size  of 
the  building  enables  the  proprietor  to  put  the  prices  at  this  low  rate, 
while,  at  the  same  time,  he  is  constantly  realizing  a  handsome  profit. 

CASTLE  GARDEN 
Is  built  on  a  mole,  and  connected  with  the  Battery  by  a  bridge.  It 
was  originally  erected  as  a  fortification,  and  having  become  un- 
necessary for  this  purpose,  was  ceded  by  the  United  States  to  the 
corporation  of  the  city  in  1823.  Within  its  walls  10.000  people  can 
be  accomodated,  in  a  great  amphitheatre ;  it  is  used  for  exhibitions, 
and  sometimes  for  public  meetings. 

CHATHAM  THEATRE.

MITCHELL'S  OLYMPIC  THEATRE. 
This  building,  No.  444  Broadway,  was  converted  into  a  Theatre 
in  1837,  by  Messrs.  Willard  &  Blake,  but  was  only  under  their  man- 
agement a  few  months,  the  enterprise  meeting  with  very  indifferent 
success.   The  establishment  then  for  a  period  of  nearly  two  years 
was  under  the  control  of  a  number  of  individuals,  but  with  as  little 
success  as  attended  the  effort  of  the  original  proprietors.    In  the

lessee,  Mr.  Mitchell.

Gov.  Kieft,  the  Founder  of  the  First  Church. 

The  motives  that  induced  Gov.  Kieft  to  become  the  founder  of 
the  first  church  in  this  city,  may  be  best  related  in  the  words  of 
C.tpt.  David  Pietersz  de  Vriez,  who  performed  three  voyages  to 
New  Netherlands,  in  1C30,  to  colonize  this  region.  De  Vriez  ob- 
serves :— k  As  I  urn  every  day  with  Commander  Kieft,  he  told  me 
one  day  that  he  had  now  made  a  fine  tavern,  built  with  stone,  for 
the  English,  by  whom,  as  they  passed  continually  with  their  ves- 
sels from  New  England  to  Virginia,  he  had  suffered  much,  and 
who  might  now  take  lodgings  there.  I  told  him  this  was  very- 
good  for  travellers,  but  that  we  wanted  very  badly  for  our  people  a 
church.  It  was  a  shame  that,  when  the  English  vessels  passed, 
they  should  see  nothing  but  a  mean  barn  in  which  we  performed 
our  worship  ;  on  the  contrary,  the  first  thing  that  they  in  New  Eng- 
land did,  when  they  had  fine  dwellings  built,  was  to  erect  a  fine 
church  ;  we  ought  to  do  the  same  ;  that  we  had  good  materials  for 
it,  fine  oakwood,  fine  building  stone,  good  lime  made  of  oyster 
shells,  being  better  than  our  lime  in  Holland.  Kieft  a^-ked  me 
then,  who  would  like  to  attend  to  this  church'?  I  replied, 'the 
lovers  of  the  reformed  religion,  as  certainly  some  of  them  could  be 
found.  He  told  me  that  he  supposed  I  was  myself  one  of  them,  as  I 
made  the  proposition,  and  he  supposed  I  would  contribute  a  hun- 
dred guilders !  I  replied  that  I  agreed  to  do  so,  and  that,  as  he 
was  governor,  he  should  be  the  first. 

'  We  then  elected  Jochen  Pietersz  Kuyter,  who,  having  a  set  of 
good  hands,  would  soon  procure  good  timber,  he  being  also  a  de- 
vout Calvinist.  We  elected  also  Jan  Claesz  Damen,  because  he 
lived  near  the  fort,  and  thus  we  four  u  Kerk  meesters"  formed  the 
consi-tory  to  superintend  the  building  of  the  church.  The  church 
to  be  built  in  the  fort,  where  it  would  be  save  from  the  depreda- 
tions of  the  Indians.' 

Contract  for  the  Erection  of  the  First  Church. 

The  contract  for  the  erection  of  this  church  is  upon  record.  It 
was  made  in  May,  1642,  before  the  secretary  of  the  New  Nether- 
lands, between  William  Kieft,  church-warden,  at  the  rcqu°  t  of 
his  brethren,  the  church-wardens  of  the  church  in  New  Nether- 
lands, and  John  Ogden  of  Stanford  and  Richard  Ogden,  who  con- 
tracted to  build  the  church  of  rock-stone,  72  feet  lonsr,  52  broad, 
and  16  feet  high  above  the  soil,  for  2,500  guilders  (£416 135. 4d.), '  in 
beaver,  cash  or  merchandize  ;  to  wit,  if  the  church-wardens  are 
satisfied  with  the  work,  so  that,  in  their  judgment,  the  2,500 
guilders  shall  have  been  earned,  the  said  church-wardens  will 
reward  them  with  one  hundred  guilders  (£16  13s.  id.)  more  ;  in 
the  mean  time  assist  them  whenever  it  is  in  their  power,  and  al- 
low them  the  use,  for  a  month  or  six  weeks,  of  the  company's 
boat,  to  facilitate  the  carrying  of  the  stone  thither.' 

Erection  of  the  First  Church. 

The  Reformed  Dutch  church  was  erected  within  the  fort  by 
Gov.  Kieft,  in  1642. 

The  Town  Bell— Singular  uses  made  of  it. 

The  town  bell  was  removed  to  this  church.  Besides  the  office 
of  calling  the  devout  to  meeting,  and  announcing  the  hour  of  re- 
tirement at  night,  the  bell  was  appropriated  for  various  singular] 
uses,  as  follows : 


122  HISTORICAL  MEMORANDA 

In  October.  1638,  a  female,  for  slandering  the  Rev.  E.  Bogardus, 
was  condemned  to  appear  at  Fort  Amsterdam,  and  before  the 
Governor  and  Council,  1  to  declare  in  public,  at  the  sounding  of  the 
bell,  that  she  knew  the  minister  was  an  honest  and  pious  man. 
and  that  she  lied  falsely.' 

In  1639,  all  mechanics  and  laborers  in  the  service  of  the  company 
commenced  and  left  work  at  the  ringing  of  the  bell.,  and  for  every 
neglect  forfeited  double  the  amount  of  their  wages  for  the  use  of 
the  attorney-general. 

In  1647,  all  the  tavern-keepers  were  prohibited,  by  the  placards 
of  Governor  Stuyvesant  and  Council,  from  accommodating  any 
clubs  or  selling  any  ardent  liquor  after  the  ringing  of  the  bell,  at 
nine  o'clock  in  the  evening. 

Id  1648,  two  runaways  were  summoned  into  court,  by  the  ring- 
ing of  the  bell,  to  defend  themselves. 

And,  in  1677,  an  ordinance  was  passed  by  the  Common  Council 
of  New  York,  imposing  a  fine  of  six  shillings  on  any  member  of 
the  corporation  and  jurymen,  who  should  neglect  to  appear  in  court 
at  the  third  ringing  of  the  bell.  The  bell-ringer  was  anciently  the 
court-messenger.  In  1661,  amid  his  multifarious  official  duties,  he 
was  to  assist  in  burying  the  dead  and  attend  to  toll  the  bell. 

Public  Scales  in  1553. 

The  '  weigh,'  or  '  balance,'  was  erected  in  1653,  by  Governor 
Stuyvesarit,  and  the  standard  weight  and  measure  kept  in  the 
balance-house,  was  according  to  those  of  the  city  of  Amsterdam. 
.To  this  standard  merchants  were  obliged  to  conform,  and  to  pay 
the  eyck-meester  for  making  their  weights  and  measures.  Goods 
were  here  also  brought  in  bulk  and  weighed,  before  they  were 
stored  in  the  public  store-houses. 

The.  Stocks  and  Whipping  Post. 

In  front  of  the  City  HhII  were  the  stocks  and  whipping-post. 
The  ducking-stool,  or  rather  cucking-stool,  was  not  yet  erected, 
notwithstanding  the  Lutheran  minister,  in  1673,  pleaded  in  bar  to 
a  public  prosecution  against  him  for  striking  a  female,  that  she 
'  provoked  him  to  it  by  scolding.'' 

The  Pillory,  Cage,  and  Ducking  Stool. 

The  Dutch  had  the  credit  of  introducing  the  wooden-horse,  but 
the  cucking-stool  was  reserved  for  the  ingenuity  of  the  English, 
who,  deriving  a  sanction  for  their  want  of  gallantry  from  the  imme- 
morial authority  of  their  Common  Law,  ordered,  February,  1692, 
at  a  meeting  of  a  grand  Committee  of  the  Common  Council,  a 
pillory,  cage,  and  ducking-stool  to  be  forthwith  built. 

Post  Office  in  1673. 
'  In  the  interim,'  continues  the  proclamation  of  Governor  Lo\'e- 
lace,  in  1673,  '  those  that  bee  dispos'd  to  send  Letters,  lett  them 
bring  them  to  the  Secretary's  office,  where  in  a  lockt  Box  they 
shall  be  preserved  till  the  Messenger  calls  for  them.  All  persons 
paying  the  Post  before  the  Bagg  bee  seald  up.  Dated  at  New 
Yorke  in  10th  day  of  December,  1672.' 

Erection  of  Governor  Stuyvesant's  House. 

Governor  Stuyvesant's  house  or  dwelling  was  built  about  four 
years  before  he"  surrendered  his  government  to  the  English.  It 
fronted  the  public  wharf,  and  stood  on  the  west  side  of  the  pre-

sent  Whitehall  street,  nearly  opposite  the  commencement  of  the 
present  Water  street. 

The  Public  Wharf  in  1558. 
The  public  wharf  and  harbor,  or  dock,  were  built  by  the  burgo- 
masters of  the  city,  about  the  year  1658.  Here  vessels  loaded  and 
unloaded,  and  a  wharfage  was  exacted  at  first,  of  eight  stivers  per 
last.  The  harbor  was  constructed  to  accommodate  vessels  and 
yachts,  in  which,  during  winter,  the  barques  stationed  there 
might  be  secured  against  the  floating  ice,  for  which  large  vessels 
paid  annually  4  one  beaver,  and  smaller  in  proportion,  to  the  city, 
to  keep  it  in  order.'  This  wharf  and  harbor  are  now  a  part  of 
Whitehall  street,  Whitehall  slip  having  since  been  formed  into 
the  river. 

Transportation  of  the  Mails  in  1672. 

The  proclamation  of  Governor  Lovelace,  Dec.  10,  1672,  says, 
'  Whereas  it  is  thought  convenient  and  necessary,  in  obedience  to 
his  Sacred  Majesty's  commands,  who  enjoynes  all  his  subjects,  in 
their  distinct  colonyes,  to  enter  into  a  strict  allyance  and  corres- 
pondency with  each  other,  as  likewise  for  the  advancement  of 
negotiation,  trade,  and  civill  commerce,  and  for  a  more  speedy 
intelligence  and  dispatch  of  aflayres,  that  a  messenger  or  Post  bee 
authorised  to  sett  forth.' 

Intercourse  between  New  York  and  Boston  in  1572. 

The  proclamation  of  Governor  Lovelace,  Dec.  10,  1672,  says, 
'that  a  messenger  or  Post  be  authorized  to  sett  forth  from  this 
city  of  New  Yorke,  monthly ,  and  to  travaile  to  Boston,  from 
whence  within  that  month  he  shall  retrtrn  again  to  this  city: 
These  are  therefore  to  give  notice  to  all  persons  concerned,  That 
on  the  first  day  of  January  next  (1673),  the  messenger  appointed 
shall  proceed  on  his  journey  to  Boston.' 

Express  Line  in  1573. 
'If  any,  therefore,'  says  the  proclamation  of  Governor  Lovelace, 
in  1672,  1  have  any  letters  or  small  portable  goods  to  bee  conveyed 
to  Hartford,  Connecticott,  Boston,  or  any  other  parts  in  the  Road, 
they  shall  be  carefully  delivered  according  to  the  Directions,  by  a 
sworne  messenger  and  Post,  Who  is  purposely  implcyed  in  that 
affayre.' 

Travelling  from  Quebec  to  New  York  in  1767. 

4  On  Wednesday  last,  several  gentlemen  arrived  here  from  Que- 
bec, in  Canada,  in  twelve  days.  They  came  over  the  mountains 
on  snow-shoes  to  Crown  Point,  and  from  thence  down  Lake 
George  on  the  ice.

Laying  out  of  the  City  in  Streets. 

In  105G,  the  city  was  laid  out  in  streets,  some  of  them  crooked 
enough.  It  then  contained  120  houses,  with  extensive  garden  lots, 
and  1000  inhabitants.  In  1G77,  another  estimate  of  the  city  was 
made,  and  ascertained  to  contain  308  houses.  In  1674,  an  assess- 
ment of '  the  most  wealthy  inhabitants'  having  been  made,  it  was 
found  that  the  sum  total  of  134  estates  amounted  to  X95,000. 
Erection  of  Fort  Amsterdam. 

The  name  c^ncialiy  given  to  this  fort,  in  1G73  (called  James  Fort 
by  the  English),  was  'Fort  vViilem  Kendrick.'  It  was  first  erected 
and  finished,  in  1G35,  by  Gov.  Van  Twiller,  neglected  by  Gov.  Kieft, 
repaired  and  surrounded  by  a  stone  wall*by  Gov.  Stuyvesant,  and 
demolished  and  the  ground  levelled  in  1700  and  '91.  It  was  situ- 
ated south  of  the  Bowling  Green,  on  high  ground,  was  in  the 
shape  of  a  regular  square,  with  four  bastions,  had  two  gates, 
and  mounted  forty-two  cannon. 

Incidents  in  New  York  of  the  Revolutionary  War. 

The  following  annexed  account  of  the  incidents  of  the  revolu- 
tionary war  in  New  York,  is  from  Watson's  Sketches  of  Olden 
Times  in  New  York  city. 

'  After  the  war  had  commenced,  and  New  York  was  expected 
to  be  captured,  almost  all  the  Whig  families,  who  could  sustain 
the  expense,  left  their  hotives  and  homes  to  seek  precarious  refuge 
where  they  could  in  the  country.  On  the  other  hand,  after  the 
city  was  possessed  by  the  British,  all  the  Tory  families  who  felt 
unsafe  in  the  country  made  their  escape  into  New  York  for  British 
protection.  Painfully,  family  relations  were  broken;  families  as 
well  as  the  rulers  took  different  sides,  and  "Greek  met  Greek"  in 
fierce  encounter. 

4  Mr.  Brower,  who  saw  the  British  force  land  in  Kip's  bay  as  he 
stood  on  the  Long  Island  heights,  says  it  was  the  most  imposing 
sight  his  eyes  ever  beheld.  The  army  crossed  the  East  river  in 
open  fiat  boats  filled  with  soldiers  standing  erect;  their  arms  all 
glittering  in  the  sun-beams.  They  approached  the  British  fleet  in 
Kip's  bay  in  the  form  of  a  crescent,  caused  by  the  force  of  the  tide 
breaking  the  intended  line  of  boat  after  boat.  They  all  closed  up 
in  the  rear  of  the  fleet,  when  all  the  vessels  opened  a  heavy  can- 
nonade. 

"  All  the  Presbyterian  churches  in  New  York  were  used  for 
military  purposes  in  some  form  or  other.  I  suspect  they  were 
deemed  more  Whiggish  in  general  than  some  of  the  other  churches. 
The  clergymen  of  that  order  were,  in  general,  throughout  the  war, 
said  to  be  zealous  to  promote  the  cause  of  the  revolution.  The 
Methodists,  on  the  contrary,  then  few  in  number,  were  deemed

loyalists,  chiefly  from  the  known  loyalism  of  their  founder,  Mr. 
Wesley.  Perhaps  to  this  cause  it  was  that  the  society  in  John 
street  enjoyed  so  much  indulgence  as  to  occupy  their  church  for 
Sunday  night  service,  while  the  Hessians  had  it  in  the  morning 
service  for  their  own  chaplains  and  people. 

j  '  The  British  troops  were  quartered  in  any  empty  houses  of  the 
i  Whigs  which  might  be  found.  W  herever  men  were  billeted,  they 
'marked  it. 

'  The  middle  Dutch  church  in  Nassau-street,  was  used  to  im- 
prison 3,000  Americans.  The  pews  were  all  gutted  out  and  used 
as  fuel.  Afterward  they  used  it  for  the  British  cavalry,  wherein 
'they  exercised  their  men,  as  a  riding-school;  making  them  leap 
over  raided  windlasses.  At  the  same  place  they  often  picketed 
their  men,  as  a  punishment,  making  them  bear  their  weight  on 
their  toe  on  a  sharp  goad.  At  the  same  place,  while  the  prisoners 
remained  there,  Mr.  Andrew  Mercein  told  me  he  used  to  see  the 
"dead  cart"  come  every  morning,  to  bear  off  six  or  eight  of  the 
dead.  The  old  sugar-house,  which  also  adjoined  to  this  church, 
was  filled  with  the  prisoners  taken  at  Long  Island ;  there  they 
suffered  much,  they  being  kept  in  an  almost  starved  condition. 
This  starving  proceeded  from  different  motives ;  they  wished  to 
break  the  spirit  of  the  prisoners,  and  to  cause  their  desertion,  or 
to  make  the  war  unwelcome  to  their  friends  at  home.  I  could 
not  find,  on  inquiry,  that  Americans  in  New  York  were  allowed 
to  help  their  countrymen,  unless  by  stealth.  I  was  told  by  eye- 
witnesses of  cases,  where  the  wounded  came  crawling  to  the 
'Openings  in  the  wall,  and  begging  only  for  one  cup  of  water,  and 
couid  not  be  indulged,  the  sentinels  saying,  we  are  sorry  too,  but 
our  orders  have  been,  '?  suffer  no  communication  in  the  absence 
of  your  officer." 

'  The  north  Dutch  church  in  William  street  was  entirely  gutted 
of  its  pews,  and  made  to  hold  2,000  prisoners.  The  Quaker  meet- 
ing in  Pearl  street  was  converted  into  an  hospital.  The  old 
French  church  was  used  as  a  prison.  Mr.  Thomas  Swords  told 
jme  they  used  to  bury  the  prisoners  on  the  mount,  then  on  the 
comer  of  Grace  and  Lumber  streets.    It  was  an  old  redoubt. 

'There  was  much  robbing  in  the  city  by  the  soldiery  at  times. 
In  this.  Lord  Rawdon's  corps  and  the  king's  guards  were  said  to 
have  been  pre-eminent. 

'  The  British  cast  up  a  line  of  intrenchments  quite  across  from 
Corlears'  hook  to  Bunker's  hill,  on  the  Bowery  road,  and  placed 
gates  across  the  road  there.  The  Hessians,  under  Knyphausen, 
were  encamped  on  a  mount  not  far  from  Corlears'  hook. 

'Mr.  Andrew  Mercein,  who  was  present  in  New  York,  when 
,most  of  the  above-mentioned  things  occurred,  has  told  me  several 
facts.  He  was  an  apprentice  with  a  baker  who  made  bread  for 
the  army,  and  states,  that  there  was  a  time  when  provisions,  even 
to  their  own  soldiery,  were  very  limited.  For  instance,  on  the 
occasion  of  the  Cork  provision  fleet  over-staying  their  time,  he 
has  dealt  out  six-penni*  loaves,  as  fast  as  he  could  hand  them,  for 
"  a  hard  half  dollar  a-piece  !"  The  baker  then  gave  $20  a  cwt.  for 
his  flour.  They  had  to  make  oatmeal  bread  for  the  navy.  Often I 
he  has  seen  7s.  a  pound  given  for  butter,  when  before  the  war  itj 
jwas  but  2cZ.'

HISTORICAL  MEMORANDA. 


Inauguration  of  Washington,  in  New  York,  as  the  first  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States. 
It  was  in  the  gallery  of  the  Federal  Hall,  which  stood  on  the 
present  site  of  the  Custom  House,  that  George  Washington  was 
inaugurated  (April  30th,  1789),  the  first  President  of  the  United 
States.  The  annexed  account  of  the  ceremony  is  from  1  Spark's 
Life  of  Washington  :' — 

'  A  committee  of  Congress,  consisting  of  three  members  of  the 
Senate  and  five  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  was  appointed 
to  meet  him  in  New  Jersey  and  attend  him  to  the  city  of  New 
York.  To  Elizabethtown  Point  came  many  other  persons  of  dis- 
tinction, and  the  heads  of  the  several  departments  of  government. 
He  was  there  received  in  a  barge,  splendidly  fitted  up  for  the 
occasion,  and  rowed  by  thirteen  pilots  in  white  uniforms.  This 
was  followed  by  vessels  and  boats,  fancifully  decorated,  and 
crowded  with  spectators.  When  the  President's  barge  came  near 
to  the  city,  a  salute  of  thirteen  guns  was  fired  from  the  vessels  in 
the  harbor,  and  from  the  battery.  At  the  landing  he  was  again 
saluted  by  a  discharge  of  artillery,  and  was  joined  by  the  governor 
and  other  officers  of  the  State,  and  the  corporation  of  the  city.  A 
procession  was  then  formed,  headed  by  a  long  military  train, 
which  was  followed  by  the  principal  officers  of  the  State  and  city, 
the  clergy,  foreign  ministers,  and  a  great  concourse  of  citizens. 
The  procession  advanced  to  the  house  prepared  for  the  reception 
of  the  President.  The  day  was  passed  in  festivity  and  joy,  and  in 
the  evening  the  city  was  brilliantly  illuminated. 

'  The  first  public  act  of  the  President  was  that  of  taking  the  oath 
of  office.  It  was  decided  by  congress,  that  this  should  be  done 
with  some  ceremony.  In  the  morning  of  the  day  appointed, 
April  30th,  at  9  o'clock,  religious  services,  suited  for  the  occasion, 
were  performed  in  all  the  churches  of  the  city.  At  twelve,  the 
troops  paraded  before  the  President's  door,  and  soon  afterwards 
came  the  committees  of  congress  and  the  heads  of  departments  in 
carriages,  to  attend  him  to  the  Federal  Hall,  where  the  two 
houses  of  congress  were  assembled.  The  procession  moved  for- 
ward with  the  troops  in  front,  next  the  committees  and  heads  of 
departments,  then  the  President  in  a  coach  alone,  followed  by  the 
foreign  ministers,  civil  officers  of  the  state,  and  citizens.  Arrived 
at  the  hall,  he  ascended  to  the  senate  chamber,  and  passed  thence 
to  a  balcony  in  front  of  the  house,  where  the  oath  was  adminis- 
tered to  him  in  presence  of  the  people  by  Chancellor  Livingston. 
The  President  returned  to  the  senate  chamber,  in  the  midst  of 
loud  acclamations  from  the  surrounding  throng  of  spectators,  and 
delivered  to  the  two  branches  of  congress  his  inaugural  speech. 
He  then  went  on  foot  to  St.  Paul's  church,  where  prayers  were 
read  by  the  bishop,  and  the  ceremonies  were  closed.  Tokens  of 
joy  were  everywhere  exhibited  as  on  the  day  of  his  arrival,  and 
at  night  there  was  a  display  of  illuminations  and  fire-works.'

EXPLANATION. 

If  you  wish  to  find  the  location  of  any  particular  house  or  store,— for  instance. 
No.  80  Alien-street,  on  consulting1  the  Street  Directory,  you  will  observe  that  68 
Allen  is  on  the  right  hand  of  that  street  and  the  corner  of  Grand,  and  88  Allen 
on  the  right-hand  corner  of  Broome :  hence  the  desired  number  will  be  on  tb 
right-hand  side  of  Allen-street,  between  Grand  and  Broome. 

Many  of  the  streets  are  very  irregularly  numbered :  this  is  especially  true  in 
regard  to  ail  sireets  above  Eighth  and  east  of  Avenue  5th;  and  in  some  streets 
the  numbers  change  from  right  to  left. 

Note.—  The  streets  above  Twelfth-street  are  divided  by  Avenue  5th,  into  East 
and  West — as  East  Thirteenth,  West  Thirteenth— and  those  streets  located  as 
above  described  will  be  found,  therefore,  in  this  work,  under  East  aud  West

HULL'S  TRUSS  OFFICE, 

4  VESEY-STREET  (Astor  House), 

Established  for  the  sale  and  application  of  Dr.  Amos  G.  HulVs 
invented  instruments,  for  the  relief  and  cure  of  rupture,  burst  or 
breach  in  the  groin,  and  also  for  the  sale  and  application  of 

DR.  HULL'S  UTERO-ABDOMINAL  SUPPORTER, 

An  instrument  invented  to  do  away  with  the  use  of  internal 
Pessaries,  in  cases  of  Falling  of  the  Womb,  which  latter 
instruments  have  been  found  highly  debilitating  in  their 
tendency,  although  at  first  appearing  to  afford  relief.  The 
use  of  the  supporter  is  best  expressed  in  the  language  of 
Professor  Bedibrd,  of  the  University  of  the  city  of  New- 
York  : 

"  In  order  to  afford  relief  in  the  more  aggravated  forms 
of  Prolapsus  Uteri,  it  is  essential  to  remove  from  the  uterus 
the  superincumbent  weight  of  the  intestines,  and  at  the 
same  time  to  give  support  to  the  lower  portion  of  the  ab- 
dominal muscles.  Tne  posterior  wall  of  the  vagina  is  also 
particularly  in  need  of  assistance  ;  for  in  proportion  as  this 
is  supported,  in  the  same  ratio  precisely  will  the  womb  be 
kept  in  its  place.  The  Utero- Abdominal  Supporter  has  the 
rare  merit  of  accomplishing  these  objects. 

G.  S.  BEDFORD,  M.D." 

^Generally,  if  it  be  advisable  to  relieve  the  aching,  drag- 
ging, and  bearing-down  oains  incident  to  Prolapsus  Uteri,  to 
overcome  constipation,  indigestion  and  irregular  menstru- 
ation, there  is  then  no  more  certain  method  of  effecting 
such  purposes,  than  that  found  in  the  application  of  Dr. 
Hull's  Abdominal  Supporter. 

In  Pregnancy  the  Supporter  checks  abortion,  and  after 
confinement  prevents  the  formation  of  pendulous,  flabby  ab- 
domens, by  restoring  and  preserving  the  original  compact 
state  of  the  figure. 

In  Piles  the  Supporter  is  serviceable  by  keeping  the 
bowels  in  proper  location,  preventing  stagnation  of  venous 
blood,  and  thus  overcoming  an  important  condition  in  the 
disease. 

In  Prolapsus  Ani  the  Supporter,  with  a  small  round  peri- 
neum block,  affords  immediate  relief,  by  sustaining  the  parts 
of  the  fundament,  and  is  the  best  mechanical  instrument 
known  for  the  cure  of  that  distressing  complaint. 

The  Offices,  No.  4  Vesey-street,  are  attended  by  compe- 
tent persons,  who  see  personally  to  the  application  of  the 
instruments.  The  ladies  department  is  a  retired,  distinct 
parlour  and  fitting  room,  under  the  exclusive  care  of  a 
qualified  female.

MAGNETIC  MACHINES. 

By  recent  improvements  in  these  machines,  their  power 
is  doubled  in  cases  of  the  same  size,  and  the  prices  reduced 
to  $9,  $10,  $12  and  $14,  each.  They  have  now  double  the 
power,  and  run  much  better  and  with  less  noise  than  any 
other  machines,  and  are  much  better  adapted  for  mesmer- 
ism, as  well  as  magnetizing  patients,  than  any  others  in  use. 
Each  case  is  accompanied  with  a  manual,  (£th  edition,  pp. 
284,  8vo.)  in  the  English  or  French  language,  according  to 
order,  containing  specific  directions  for  the  new  method  of 
using  this  instrument,  and  which  alone  can  render  it 
effective.  H.  H.  SHERWOOD,  M.D.,

HERTS  &  SONS' 

AMALGAMATED 

0itoer,  Steel,  <mt>  patina 
FENS. 

WARRANTED  NOT  TO  CORRODE. 

H.  B.  Herts  &  Sons,  having  been  many  years  engaged 
in  the  Manufacture  of  Metallic  Pens,  and  during  that  time 
having  devoted  their  unceasing  attention  to  improving  and 
perfecting  that  useful  and  necessary  article,  the  result  of 
their  unceasing  efforts  and  numerous  experiments  has  been 
the  construction  of  a  Pen,  on  a  principle  entirely  new,  com- 
bining all  the  advantages  of  the  elasticity  and  clearness  of 
the  Quill  with  six  times  the  durability  of  the  Steel  Pen ; 
and  thus  entirely  obviating  the  only  objection  that  has 
hitherto  existed  against  the  use  of  Steel  Pens. 

This  Pen  will  be  found  an  invaluable  article  in  Offices,  as 
they  never  need  wiping ;  also  to  Banks  and  Schools,  as  be- 
ing made  with  Circular  Points,  they  will  not  spatter  nor  cut 
the  thinnest  paper,  and  are  warranted  anti-corrosive. 

Caution. — The  universal  celebrity  of  these  Pens  having 
induced  certain  disreputable  Makers  to  foist  on  the  public  a 
spurious  Imitation,  it  will  please  be  observed,  that  each 
genuine  Pen  is  Stamped  "  Herts  &  Sons'  Patent,  1845,"  and 
each  box  of  Genuine  Pens  will  contain  a  label  with  a  fac- 
simile of  the  Manufacturers  '  name,  "  thus," 


Mav  be  had,  wholesale,  at  the  Depot,  No.  88  John-street, 
New-York,  where  may  also  be  had  every  description  of 
Metallic  Pens,  Fancy  Stationary,  &c. ;  and  retail,  from  all 
respectable  Stationers  in  the  United  States.
